Hands-on: Kuxiu’s new X40 Turbo brings Qi2.2 fast 25W charging to your iPhone

Wireless charging and iPhones have had an interesting relationship. While Android phones had wireless charging extremely early, it took Apple years to adopt the regular Qi wireless charging with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus back in 2017. Back then, it only charged at 7.5W, and it was not very efficient. Then Magsafe and the Qi2 standard recently came around and allowed iPhones to charge at 15W. But now we are getting Qi2.2, which is faster, cooler, and more efficient, and Kuxiu is the first to bring it to us. Here is what you should know about the new X40 Turbo and Qi2.2 charging.

The tradeoff to achieve the strikingly-thin enclosure is a compromise on camera specs, with the model featuring just one rear lens. But the big question overhanging this launching is exactly how much Apple will charge for its flashy new phone?
